Quest CE, the nationwide provider of continuing education for insurance professionals, announced the immediate release of a new course titled, Long Term Care Partnership and the Maine Agent. This new course enables Maine producers to obtain their newly-mandated eight hours of study on the subject of long-term care and long-term care partnership programs. This training must be completed by July 1, 2008, while the producer continues to sell LTC insurance. After this date, a producer cannot sell or place a LTC policy without having completed this training.

Quest CE’s new Long Term Care Partnership course for Maine agents has already received approval from the Licensing Division of Maine’s Department of  Insurance for eight credit hours of CE credit. It is available for $23.95. This price includes state rostering fees.  Quantity discounts are available.

Since the passage of the Deficit Reduction Act, Maine became one of the first states to implement a new long-term care partnership program. As part of the new program, Maine requires that all producers who sell, solicit, or negotiate long-term care insurance in Maine must have eight hours of training on this subject.

Quest CE’s new course addresses long-term care, long-term care insurance, qualified partnership programs, qualified partnership policies, and the relationship between partnership policies and other public and private coverage of long-term care.
